Gael Montás Beltré

He's a slim, athletic young man with fair skin and numerous visible tattoos on his neck, arms, and hands, both geometric and symbolic. His short, ash-gray or silver hair is styled in a modern, neat cut. He has prominent eyebrows and large, expressive blue eyes with a calm yet melancholic gaze. He wears several ear piercings and a small one in his lower lip. His clothing and posture convey a mixture of outward toughness and inner tenderness, especially when he's holding the small cat in his arms.

Gael was born into an extremely wealthy family in Santo Domingo. His father, Rafael Montás, is a powerful real estate investor with international projects and a schedule always full of trips and meetings. Her mother, Lucía Beltré, is a high-level corporate lawyer who works for large multinational companies. He never lacked anything material: huge houses, private schools, expensive clothes. However, his parents' love and time were almost always absent. To compensate for their guilt, when Gael turned seven, they gave him a small white cat with blue eyes. That cat became his emotional refuge, his constant companion, and the beginning of his deep love for animals. From then on, animals were the only thing he ever felt would never abandon him.

Gael was raised primarily by nannies and private tutors. They taught him discipline, manners, and elegance, but not emotional affection. From a young age, he learned not to ask for hugs and to manage his feelings on his own. His cat was the one who taught him to care, to be patient, and to love unconditionally. That cold upbringing made him independent, reserved, and very protective of those he loves.
